(Silas's POV)

My gorgeous mate opened the door and I was once again blown away by her natural beauty. My heart started pounding in my chest and I was having a hard time finding words. Before I could make myself speak, she said the words that broke my heart.

“I'm sorry but I'm not going to be driving with you. It's nothing against you, but I can't have a mate. You'd be better off finding someone who could devote themselves to you, because I can't and I won't.” The words came from her so full of emotions. I could see a hint of hurt in her eyes.

I couldn't help but take a step forward and life my hand to her face. I stroked her soft cheek with my fingers and felt the tingling sensation between us.

“You're the only one I want to be with Jasmine. You're the only one for me.” I said quietly while watching her eyes watch me. “Let me take you on one date. Give me one chance before you decide that you can't be with me.” I all but begged her.

“I can't do that.” She blurted out as she pushed past me and ran out into the rain.

I followed her and saw her shift as she got to the edge of the woods. I knew better than to chase her while she was in wolf form, because if she was angry, she wouldn't be able to control her wolf and I didn't want to end up in a scuffle with my beautiful mate.

Something or someone had hurt her, and I intended to find out what exactly that was. Her grandma stepped out onto the front porch so she was standing next to me. I looked up at her and noticed the sadness in her eyes.

“What happened to her?” I asked.

“I wish I could tell you, but it's not my secret to spill. I will tell you this; it wasn't good. You will have to have patience because she's set on being stubborn. Trust isn't easy for her Silas, so please go easy on her.”

“I'd never hurt her ma'am. I know I just met her, and this sounds crazy, but I already love her more than life itself.” I tried to smile, but my lips just wouldn't curl. I wished the older lady a good night before climbing up in my dodge truck and I drove away from my mate’s house. All of a sudden, it hit me hard. My mate rejected me.

(Jasmine's POV)

I ran away from Silas before my body took control and threw myself into his arms. I didn't know him and I never would. I'd never be able to tell him my deep dark secrets. I ran to the edge of the woods and let my wolf take over. Once the shift was complete, my wolf was begging to be near her mate. I was having an internal fight on whether I should run far away from where my mate stood, or if I should go back to him. I didn't do either. I walked around behind the house and stood quiet listening to the sexy voice as he spoke to Gran.

My head started spinning when I heard his words.

“I know I just met her, and this sounds crazy, but I already love her more than life itself.”
